Mr Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister, in a New Year Message to Conservatives throughout Home and the Empire rejects the contention that Bi’itain’s sole task is to prepare for war in the belief that war is inevitable. He added that last year’s gains far outweighed j its trials and anxieties and left no cause for pessimism. “Rearmament plans have so pro- , gressed, though much remains to be done, that we can discharge our obligations to the Allies, the Empire and ourselves. Our armed strength has enabled us to say that we will meet all j peoples in a spirit of reasonableness, 1 but not conceding to fox-ce, while our social services have been maintained! unimpaired.”
